FW: Excel add-on stat packages

[John F Hall]

I know some of you hate Excel for stats, but can anyone help this guy out?

Subject: Excel add-on stat packages

 

We have a state government client that is beginning to get involved in somewhat more technical statistical work in their program evaluations. The problem they have is that they do not have enough stat work (nor budget or trained staff) to justify buying one of the large popular stat packages. Training on R or the like would also be a drain on their already shorthanded staff.

 

All the staff are proficient with Excel and many understand the basic stat functions and several go further into the stat add-in provided by Excel, so training in an Excel based stat “package” would be more efficient for them.

 

My question:

Has anyone used an Excel add on package for stat that you would recommend? If so, let me know directly – I’ll summarize responses and post later (why clutter all your mailboxes J).  Some info on what you like or not, missing capabilities, and cost would be helpful.

 

Thanks,

Ron Fecso

IMNSHO this has nothing to do with SPSS.
Has 'this guy' tried posting the question to an Excel group?
